Skyscanner weathers recession and continues to expand

Recession has not curbed growth at Skyscanner, an Edinburgh-based online travel research company launched eight years ago.

Indeed, the company, which is profitable, has enjoyed a surge of business and expects revenue of £9m ($15m) in the year to next May, compared with £3.5m in the previous 12 months. It now employs 58 people, 10 based in Poland.
